'I am passionate about the law and the legal system. My law/justice double degree will enable me to make a positive difference in people lives by advocating for their rights and interests. I have witnessed a lot of suffering and injustice–I’m Hazara (a minority ethnic group in Afghanistan), so my ethnicity has been persecuted for a very long time. I want to use my studies to make our world a better place.'
